El ciclo de la roca: el ciclo de la roca en acción

The video tutorial explains the formation of shale and its transformation into different rock types under varying conditions of heat and pressure. It introduces the rock cycle, illustrating how rocks continuously transform from one type to another. The cycle begins with molten rock, which cools to form igneous rock. Through erosion, these rocks break down and form sedimentary rocks. With further heat and pressure, sedimentary rocks become metamorphic rocks, which can eventually melt back into molten rock, completing the cycle.

What type of rock is shale initially classified as?

• Igneous

• Sedimentary

• Volcanic

• Metamorphic

What can shale potentially transform into with additional heat and pressure?

• Metamorphic rock

• Igneous rock

• Sedimentary rock

• Limestone

What is the process called that describes the continuous transformation of rocks?

• Rock cycle

• Carbon cycle

• Water cycle

• Erosion cycle

What happens to igneous rocks during the erosion process?

• They melt into magma

• They break down into smaller pieces

• They become larger

• They transform into metamorphic rocks

What is the starting point of the rock cycle as described in the video?

• Molten rock

• Igneous rock

• Metamorphic rock

• Sedimentary rock
